Brand Lofting in Large Fire Plumes.

October 28, 1996
Author(s)
J P. Woycheese, P J. Pagni
Urban/wildland intermix conflagrations occur when dry vegetative fuels of the wild areas combine with structural fuels from houses to product a combustible environment that, once ignited, easily becomes uncontrollable. The dominant mechanism for

Heat Flux Calibration Flow and Conduction Facilities: Status Report

October 28, 1996
Author(s)
Kenneth D. Steckler, William L. Grosshandler
Standard methods exist at NIST for calibrating thermal radiation detectors up to 10 kW/m2 using blackbody caviies, and up to 40kW/m2 using a monochromatic laser source. Heat Flux transducers, however, are often used under conditions where convection

Limiting Throttling Losses by Intracycle Evaporative Cooling

October 20, 1996
Author(s)
B. S. Kim, Piotr A. Domanski
The temperature glide of zeotropic mixtures during phase change provides the opportunity to limit throttling losses of the refrigerant leaving the condenser. The difference between the intracycle evaporative cooling and the liquid-line/suction-line heat

A Mixed-Mode Smart Transducer Interface for Sensors and Actuators

October 15, 1996
Author(s)
S Chen, Kang B. Lee
This article discusses some of the key issues of the proposed IEEE P1451.4 standard ? the existing mixed-mode transducer communication schemes, the Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) requirements, compatibility with legacy systems, and utilization of

Comparison of CFAST Predictions to Real Scale Fire Tests

October 15, 1996
Author(s)
Walter W. Jones, J. L. Bailey, P. A. Tatem, Glenn P. Forney
This paper describes a new algorithm of the Consolidated Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (CFAST) fire model and compares to data from real scale fire tests conducted onboard the ex-USS SHADWELL, the Navy's R&D Damage Control Platform. The new phenomenon

Concepts of a Performance-Based System for the United States.

October 15, 1996
Author(s)
B J. Meacham
A number of countries around the world are using or developing performance-based regulations. To provide a forum for discussion on the transition to a performance-based regulatory system in the United States, the Society of Fire Protection Engineers
